Reflections
You ought to live your life with such freedom and joy that uptight Christians will doubt your salvation.
~ Steve Brown, 1940- , Author, Radio Host, Seminary Professor
The good news is that Christ frees us from the need to obnoxiously focus on our goodness, our commitment, and our correctness. Religious has made us obsessive almost beyond endurance. Jesus invited us to a dance…and we’ve turned in into a march of soldiers, always checking to see if we’re doing it right and are in step and in line with the other soldiers. We know a dance would be more fun, but we believe we must go through hell to get to heaven, so we keep marching.
~ Steve Brown
Not being changed by prayer is sort of life standing in the middle of a spring rain without getting wet. It’s hard to stand in the center of God’s acceptance and love without getting it all over you.
~ Steve Brown
The only people who get better are people who know that, if they never get better, God will love them anyway.
